Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An automated method for calculating a bundle package pricing for a booth using a processor, the method comprising: receiving information relating to dimensions of the booth; receiving weight information relating to items and materials to be housed within the dimensions of the booth; using the processor to associate the information relating to the dimensions of the booth and the weight information with one of a plurality of bundle weight per area ranges established by a set of pre-established rules; calculating a weight per area of the booth, using the processor, by dividing the weight information by the dimensions of the booth; and calculating the bundle package pricing, using the processor, based on the weight per area of the booth and the set of pre-established rules, wherein the set of pre-established rules associate each of the plurality of weight per area ranges with at least one bundle package and a price.
2. The automated method of claim 1 , wherein calculating the weight per area of the booth using the weight information and the dimensions of the booth comprises calculating a bundle pound per square foot.
3. The automated method of claim 2 , wherein associating the information relating to the dimensions of the booth and the weight information with the set of pre-established rules further comprises determining the at least one bundle package based on the bundle pound per square foot.
4. The automated method of claim 2 , wherein calculating the bundle package pricing comprises calculating a bundle price per square foot based on the bundle pound per square foot and the set of pre-established rules, and wherein calculating the bundle package pricing comprises using the information relating to the dimensions of the booth and the bundle price per square foot.
5. The automated method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a plurality of payment options.
6. The automated method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-established set of rules is based on the weight of the bundle and the area of the booth.
7. An automated system for pricing a bundle package based on a weight of a bundle and dimensions of a booth, the system comprising: an interface for requesting information and displaying information; a point of entry for submitting data related to the requested information, wherein the data represents the weight of the bundle and dimensions of the booth; a processor for receiving and controlling the data, wherein the processor comprises: a rules database for storing a pre-established set of rules for classifying data into one of a plurality of bundle weight per area ranges and for associating each of the plurality of bundle weight per area ranges with a price; a transaction processing system for storing the submitted data and for classifying the submitted data into one of the plurality of bundle weight per area ranges using the pre-established set of rules in the rules database and a weight per area of the bundle; and a calculator configured to determine an area of the booth from the dimensions of the booth and the weight per area of the bundle by dividing the weight of the bundle by the area of the booth, the calculator also being configured to determine a bundle package price based on the price associated with the bundle weight per area range into which the submitted data is classified and on the area of the booth; wherein the processor causes the interface to display requested information including dimensions of the booth and the weight of the bundle to be displayed within the booth.
8. The automated system of claim 1 , wherein the rules database further includes a pre-established set of rules for classifying data into one of a plurality of bundle packages and the processor is configured to classify the submitted data into one of the plurality of bundle packages.
9. The automated system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to send to the interface a list of pre-selected product and service options related to furnishing the booth, wherein the product and service options are pre-selected based on the bundle package into which the submitted data is classified.
10. The automated system of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of bundle packages includes at least two bundle weight per area ranges.
11. The automated system of claim 1 , wherein the calculator is configured to determine a bundle pounds per square foot based on the dimensions of the booth and the weight of the bundle.
12. A processor for pricing a bundle package based on a weight of a bundle and on dimensions of a booth, the processor comprising: a rules database that stores a pre-established set of rules for classifying data into one of a plurality of bundle weight per area ranges and that associates each of the bundle weight per area ranges with a price; a transaction processing system for storing data and analyzing the pre-established set of rules in the rules database, wherein the data comprises the weight of the bundle and the dimensions of the booth; and a calculator for determining an area of the booth from the dimensions of the booth, for determining a weight per area of the bundle by dividing the weight of the bundle by the area of the booth, for classifying the data into one of the plurality of bundle weight per area ranges based on the pre-established rules and the weight per area of the bundle, and for determining a bundle package price based on the area of the booth and on the price of the weight per area range into which the data is classified.
13. The processor of claim 12 further configured to provide a list of product and service options related to furnishing the booth.
14. The automated system of claim 13 , wherein the list of product and service options are pre-associated with the bundle package.
15. The processor of claim 12 , wherein the calculator is configured to determine a bundle pounds per square foot based on the dimensions of the booth and the weight of the bundle.
16. A processor-implemented automated process for processing data related to bundle package pricing, the process comprising: requesting booth dimension information from a user; requesting weight information of material to be shipped to the booth; determining an area of the booth based on the booth dimension information; determining a weight per area of the booth, using a processor, by dividing the weight information of the material to be shipped to the booth by the area of the booth; classifying the weight per area of the booth, using the processor, into one of a plurality of bundle weight per area ranges according to a set of pre-established rules that establish the plurality of bundle weight per area ranges; determining a bundle package, using the processor, based on the bundle weight per area range into which the weight per area of the booth is classified using the set of pre-established rules that associate at least one bundle package with each of the plurality of bundle weight per area ranges; and associating a price with the bundle package.
17. The automated process of claim 16 , wherein determining the weight per area of the booth comprises calculating a bundle pound per square foot based on the booth dimension information and the weight information and wherein associating the price with the bundle package comprises calculating the price based on the pre-established rules that associate at least one price with each of the plurality of bundle weight per area ranges and on the area of the booth.
18. The automated process of claim 17 , wherein associating the price with the bundle package comprises calculating a bundle package price based on the price per square foot and the pre-established rules that associate the price with the bundle package.
19. The automated process of claim 16 , further comprising sending to the user a list of pre-selected product and service options related to furnishing the booth, wherein the product and service options are pre-selected based on the bundle package.
